Verdict
Bouquet finished ahead of a subsequent winner when third at Newmarket in July and collateral form suggests she should beat course winner Destiny Queen in receipt of 6lb. But BEAUTIFUL SECRET probably came up against a decent filly when only beaten a neck over a mile at Doncaster and can go one better. Canterbury Bell, Mashaaer and Icy Lady all represent yards capable of getting one ready at home.
